Mysore Race Club cancels intervenue betting for Bangalore races

The Mysore Race Club has announced the cancellation of all intervenue betting operations for the Bangalore races originally scheduled for November 13. The decision comes as local authorities implement heightened security measures across the city.

The disruption to the racing calendar is a direct result of the Prime Minister’s upcoming visit to Mysore. Organisers confirmed that the suspension of betting activities is a precautionary step taken to ensure public safety and manage the logistical challenges posed by the high-profile visit.

Security protocols force betting suspension

The club issued a formal notice confirming that the betting facilities will remain closed throughout the day of the event. While the races themselves are set to proceed in Bangalore, patrons who typically frequent the Mysore Race Club to place wagers on these events will be unable to do so on this occasion.

Local officials have been coordinating with security agencies to manage the impact of the Prime Minister's itinerary on various public services and events. The cancellation reflects the priority placed on maintaining order and security within the city during the visit. The Mysore Race Club has not provided further details regarding the resumption of normal operations, though the suspension is currently limited to the events of November 13.
